    I am so glad you can just avoid an instance moderated by clowns and enjoy the full experience with the fediverse.

      Dude, you’re on lemmy.ml which censors your words. Try to write ‘bitch’ for example, you can’t. You also can’t read it, it will show as removed (only for lemmy.ml users).

        This thing. This thing always confuses me. Sometimes I see ‘removed’ and sometimes I can actually read the words people write. I’m always reading from my Mander account, why the disparity? I can read b*t.ch in your post but I often come across removeds

          If a lemmy.ml user types ‘bitch’ in a comment it will actually get replaced with ‘removed’. They just won’t notice it until they check their own comments. That might be the reason why you see ‘removed’ even though your instance doesn’t have an active slur filter.

            So, when I see “bitch” is because the user isn’t from lemmy.ml? Jerboa doesn’t display the domains along the usernames unless I visit the profiles.

              Yep! It only gets censored in two cases:

              1. You are on an instance that censors words like this (e.g. lemmy.ml)

              2. The user who wrote the comment is on an instance that censors this word (which actually replaces it in the comment), everyone sees it censored then

                What about the edge case where someone actually says removed? Like the actual verb, to remove, but italicized and in the past tense. Someone could then infer incorrectly that you’re saying a slur word instead of the verb to take away.

        For real? Is there any source for this? I’m really to lazy rn to try this but this would be ridiculous

            Except piracy is good and slurs are bad. 😏

            It’s possible to ban bad things and not ban good things. Free speech absolutism “never ban anything, everything is permitted!” is a child’s understanding of censorship.

              The only other place that would ban a word like “bitch” is probably a kindergarten, so wtf are you talking about
